Robbie Grunwald Music

European Dates!

Hello Internet.

How has your pandemic been? Good? Cool! Lots has happened in the last little while…

I composed music for two contemporary dance pieces: Two x 30 for choreographer Michael Caldwell, and Note the Weather for Choreographer Mairead Filgate.

I spent a lot of time in the studio producing and mixing music for people and I started teaching in the Music Scoring for stage and Screen program at Sheridan College.

I released a bunch of music with my friend Mikhail Laxton under the name Blackbird Valley

I went on tour with my good friend Donovan Woods and played some shows with my friend Rose Cousins

And now…

I’m crossing the pond to play a bunch of shows with the lovely Jill Barber in Austria, after which I head to Berlin to play a solo piano show.

If you or anyone you know is in Austria between Oct 27 and Nov 5th, or the Berlin area on Nov 6th, come say hi! Check out my tour dates for details.

I created this music for a beautiful community dance piece created by the beautiful and talented choreographer Meredith Thompson. It premiered at Toronto’s Dusk Dances in Withrow Park in 2019. It has recently been re-imagined in an online format for the 2021 Guelph dance festival, and will premier online tomorrow Saturday June 5th, 2021, here.

The score for this music which was composed, recorded, and mixed by yours truly is now available for donwload/purchase on Bandcamp. Please stop by My Page and check it out.

You can also buy/download my Album of original solo piano music, Oma, there.

Stay safe and hang in there everyone. I feel like this pandemic is getting under control and we are nearing the finish line!

Wood Meets Water

The first piece off of the new Album Oma is out now! Its called Wood Meets Water

Wood Meets Water. First single off the album Oma. Out March 6, 2020 on Common Noise/Outside Music

“Stark and stately, this melody opens the album and serves as an introduction to this cycle of compositions,” says Grunwald. “Wood – the starting material for many objects in our lives. Water – a substance that gives life and serves as a conduit. The place where Wood meets Water is the meeting between raw materials and the medium which transports and transforms that material into its final form.”

Accompanying the single is a stunning animated video by Les Cooper made from stock footage that Grunwald collected while visiting his Oma at her home in Concepcion, Chile back in January of 2019. Watch the video here
